Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymatic oxidation of p-nitrophenol
TL;DR: The soluble fraction prepared from crude cell extracts oxidized hydroquinone to a product whose spectral properties were identical to those reported for γ-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Peroxide in the Biological Effects of Irradiated Broth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and germination of the Azotobacter cyst.
TL;DR: The fine structure of Azotobacter vinelandii has been studied by means of electron microscopy of ultrathin sections made of the encysting and germinating cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antarctica: The Microbiology of an Unfrozen Saline Pond.
TL;DR: A saline pond in a region in Antarctia where other lakes and ponds are frozen remains unfrozen at the prevailing low temperatures, and a distinctive aerobic microbial population, though restricted to this natural habitat, adapts to growth in artificial culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance of the azotobacter cyst
M. D. Socolofsky,Orville Wyss +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence was presented indicating that the cyst is not a bacterial endospore, and the encystment process may confer a survival advantage upon the organism by coupling the low endogenous respiration rate with the ability to withstand desiccation.
